'I wouldn't say it was easy (waiting for a year) because everybody wants to join a big club like Liverpool. I was very excited for the new challenge. Now I have come here I can see that the club is even bigger than I thought. And it is always nice to be playing with such good players. I am happy.

'I am confident about myself but now I am in a good place. I still have a lot to learn but I play with experienced players and a very good staff that can help me improve every day. I am very passionate about football so I was always watching the Premier League every day. I like to observe the Premier League.

'It is up to the coach to make the choices. I just have to be ready, try to learn a lot and be ready and if I get the chance to give everything. I have to focus on myself improving, improving, then the coach will make the choices.'
